Daryl's Crossbow is a crossbow used by Daryl Dixon as one of his primary weapons. Over the course of his journey, Daryl has been forced to use several different crossbows.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Survival Instinct[]

Shortly after the outbreak, Merle Dixon reveals that he had hung onto and stored his brother Daryl's crossbow at Jake's, supposedly for "sentimental reasons." During Merle's massacre of the Savage Sons Motorcycle Club, the crossbow ends up on the body of one of the bikers. After being ambushed and having his stuff stolen from him, Daryl retrieves his knife, puts down the biker after he reanimates and retrieves his crossbow, using a few bolts retrieved from around the bar to fight his way back outside and chase after the rest of the gang and Merle.

Original TV Series[]

A Horton Scout HD 125 is used by Daryl Dixon throughout the whole show. A Stryker Strykezone 380 crossbow is taken from Morgan Jones' safe house by Michonne Hawthorne in "Clear" and Daryl replaces his Horton Scout HD 125 with the Stryker Crossbow as shown in the "Arrow on the Doorpost". It's briefly stolen from Daryl in "A" by Terminus, but Carol recovers and returns it to him. In "Always Accountable", this crossbow is stolen by Dwight and Sherry after they betray Daryl. However, Daryl later reclaims it in "Twice as Far". After Rick's group is captured by the Saviors, Dwight is seen using the crossbow again which became his main weapon. Daryl was later given a PSE Fang 350 by Richard in "New Best Friends". In "Dead or Alive Or", Daryl began to reuse his Stryker Strykezone 380 Crossbow again after retrieving it from Dwight.

Following the end of the Savior Conflict, Daryl combines his crossbow with two knives for hand-to-hand combat.

During the fight with the Attacker, Kelly retrieves Daryl's dropped crossbow and briefly uses it to threaten the Reaper.

After joining the Commonwealth Army, Daryl apparently abandons using his crossbow for good. Instead, Daryl begins using one of the Commonwealth's AR-15s. Daryl's crossbow is one of the weapons offered to Sebastian Milton for his advanced military training, but he ultimately rejects it. When Sebastian falls into trouble fighting a walker a few minutes later, Daryl grabs his crossbow and uses it to save Sebastian, much to Sebastian's annoyance.

After the Coalition and the Commonwealth go their separate ways thanks to Carol's deal with Pamela, Daryl and Rosita turn in their AR-15's and return to using their old weapons again. However, he primarily uses a stolen AR-15 during the following conflict with the Commonwealth soldiers.

While defending the Commonwealth from a massive herd, Daryl uses his crossbow against the walkers.

Daryl Series[]

Along with his original knives, Daryl appears to have lost his original crossbow on his way to France. He later selects a new one from the Abbey of Saint Bernadette's armory.

Despite having a new crossbow, Daryl appears to favor his melee weapons against his enemies in France. Daryl's first use of a crossbow is to put down the zombified Julien in order to have to spare Lou from doing it. After arriving at the Nest, Daryl appears to abandon use of a crossbow altogether and is no longer seen carrying one.

In flashbacks, Daryl uses his original crossbow to capture walkers, outfitting his arrows with a line that he shoots through one walker and into another one. It's taken from him following Daryl's scuffle with Juno.

While searching for Daryl, Carol finds his original crossbow in Grady's possession. Carol reclaims the crossbow, shooting Drew in the foot and using it to threaten Jones, Grady and Drew into telling her what had happened to Daryl. In the scuffle, Daryl's Bike is shot in the tire by his crossbow, forcing Carol to steal Drew's car instead.

Ash takes the crossbow from Carol while she's staying with him for his own personal safety, but Ash returns it to her when Carol leaves.

In Greenland, Carol uses the crossbow to fight off a small herd as Ash fixes his plane. Hanna later takes the crossbow from her and tries to kill Carol with it on her friend Eun's orders. After Carol talks her down, Hanna instead uses it to kill Eun, saving Carol's life. Hanna subsequently returns the crossbow to Carol.

Before leaving to find Daryl in France, Carol gives Daryl's crossbow to Ash for his protection as well as for safe keeping.

Carol later returns the crossbow to Daryl, quipping that it was her one carry-on. Daryl resumes carrying his crossbow, using it to fight walkers in the Chunnel alongside his knife and morning star.
